Standoff Installation
Before installing the zero clearance wood inbuilt, two standoffs must be secured to the top of the
ppliance. These parts are required to maintain proper clearances to heat sensitive materials. You
a
will find the standoffs in the firebox and the screws in the owner’s manual kit. Align the holes of the
spacers (A) with the pre-drilled holes on top of the zero clearance wood inbuilt and secure them
with 8 screws provided (B), as shown.
Carrying the Zero Clearance Wood Inbuilt
To facilitate transportation of the Caldor before its installation, we have designed handling grips
(AC09200, sold separately). The moulded bricks are in a box you can carry separately. We
suggest you install the bricks after the setting up of the zero clearance wood inbuilt. To install the
bricks, see section Moulded Refractory Brick Panels Installation.

INSTALLATION (Continued)
Location of the Certification Label
Since the information given on the certification label affixed to the appliance always overrides the
nformation published in any other media (owner’s manual, catalogues, flyers, magazines or web
i
sites) it is important to refer to it to have a safe and compliant installation. In addition, you will find
information about your zero clearance wood inbuilt (model, serial number, etc.). You can find the
certification label inside the wood inbuilt, on the right side when facing it.
We recommend that you note the wood inbuilt’s serial number on this manual, since it will be
needed to precisely identify the version of the appliance in the event you require replacement parts
or technical assistance.
Clearances to Heat-Sensitive Materials
The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to procedures set
out in safety standards AS/NZS 2918:2001. When the zero clearance wood inbuilt is installed so
that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible surfaces will not
overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.
WARNING
• NO PART OF THE ZERO CLEARANCE WOOD INBUILT MAY BE LOCATED CLOSER
TO COMBUSTIBLES THAN THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE FIGURES GIVEN.
The appliance must be built into an enclosure with the front wall made from a minimum 9 mm noncombustible material (Bellis board or similar), the side and rear walls, which can be made from
combustible material, shall be a minimum of 70 mm from the side and rear of the appliance outer
case.
